Hello everyone,

Normally pretty good at figuring out these things, but this one has me stumped....

We have a SBS 2011 at our office behind an older (not supported anymore) Sonic Wall router. We use the Global VPN Client to connect to our network from our homes, but for some reason I never got the NetBios names to pass through the VPN connection, so we use the IP address \\192.168.16.10\sharedfile (thats the server with the shares). So this works for all users on all computers from many different locations, except for a newly updated box now running Windows 10. So I install the global VPN client just like I have 100 times in the past and connect to the VPN and type in the share, but now I get the follwing error in the Windows 10 machine:
Windows cannot access \\192.168.16.10
Error code 0x80004005

I can ping the server IP and get a response, just cant access anything.
One thing I did notice is that I never get a popup login form when I initially try to connect to the server shares where I put in my DOMAIN\USER and password. On other computers, that first time I connect to the share, that login form pops up and I have to login to the domain to get access to the shares.... now that I think about it that is probably where the issue lies.

The ONLY computer that I am having an issue with is the Windows 10 computer (all others are Windows 7).
I have a feeling it is some random setting in windows 10, but I cannot figure it out.

Thanks for the help!

The user is a photographer and presently has an 8 TB RAID, which is physically carried between two locations every few months.

They now have a decent cable modem connection in the remote connection they use, with an upload speed of 10-15 mbs

Their activity consists of loading in 2-15 gigabytes every week or so, cataloging and adjusting the photos with Adobe Lightroom.  Computers are MacOS X, maintained to the latest version of the operating system that supports Lightroom.  

What's the best way to keep two copies of the RAID in sync over the Internet?  I can set up a VPN.

Thanks

Hi All,

I'm working for a company who are currently using VASCO hard tokens for two-factor authentication. They want to switch over to a soft token (e.g google authenticator) however after reading this (https://www.wikidsystems.com/blog/5-issues-enterprises-should-consider-before-using-google-authenticator-for-ssh/) I've been slightly put off. Also nobody can seem to 100% confirm whether a RADIUS server in Active Directory is required for Google Authenticator or whether Google provide one. I've spoken to Barracuda who said it should be as simple as creating a new authentication scheme on the VPN and selecting Google Authenticator as the option however I wanted this confirmed by Google before beginning.

What are other two factor authentication methods that are best used in Enterprise environments? And was a RADIUS server required etc?

Thanks in advance,

how do I locate the missing file and determine what it is that needs to be installed for it to work?

I have 4 VPN connections, all Windows XP computers, one Windows 10 computer.  I've been able to access computer shared files by computer name... then one day on the Windows 10 computer I couldn't but can by IP address.  The XP computers on the VPN are working fine.  There has not been any network configuration changes, NETBIOS is enabled in the router's VPN setup and in the Windows 10 TCP/IP configuration.

Before I resort to editing my host file to make names work again, I would like to resolve why it all of a sudden stopped working.  I feel like editing the host file is not the proper solution given all other XP computers are working AND this windows 10 computer was working.

Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi All

 I have had the Cisco ASA5505 setup as the firewall for my company for about 3 Years, without issue I have been able to use CISCO ANYCONNECT to connect remotely to my network etc.. For some reason, I now get a message stating " anyconnect not enabled on the vpn server".. my sh run webvpn is below

Free memory:        71697768 bytes (27%)
Used memory:       196737688 bytes (73%)

If I go through the ASDM wizard and attempt to install the SSL VPN via anyconnect, I get an error as shown in screenshot below. ( File write error check disk space)  which I am not understanding as the cache-fs they say to use does not exsist.

its a small office, with only anyconnect , asdm, and asa.bin files on it, small running config,  so I am lost as to why I cannot add Anyconnect especially when its always worked.  

sh disk 0 is also shown below.

It frequently happens that when I try to use PAN Global Protect for work VPN that the authenticator token doesn't arrive until after the Global Protect connection attempt has given up/timed out. If I try to connect a second time then the token for the first attempt will often arrive during attempt #2, the second during attempt 3 and so on.

What is likely the problem? And is there anything I can do as an end user to fix this? Anything that IT could do to fix the delays of the token?

So I have Fortinet firewalls in all my offices which are linked together with IP VPN's

I have configured FortiClient in my London office and when I connect in on FortiClient I can get to all my servers in London, however, I cannot get to my New York office  despite there being a VPN already in place.

I have created a Policy from the SSLVPN to the New York office still no joy.

I have added the IP range given out on the FortiClient to the VPN both sides in Phase 2. Again still no joy.

Once  get this working I will also need to get it working so that I can get to resources in AWS which again I have a VPN already up and running.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Glenn

I am looking for inputs on a routing issue that we are having. We had to replace a failed ASA after a hard failure without the benefit of a saved config anyplace.The Circuits is a CenturyLink IQ circuit. There are two other locations in the CUG.

After doing a base configuration including default route to our Public IP of our Circuit ( a constraint for PPTP VPN traffic that is legacy)  we are unable to move traffic from a remote site with the same Public/Private port set up. A brief layout.

Site A IQ Circuit - 10.10.8.0\24 Trusted LAN, Public IP of 208.115.1.10  Private IP of 65.65.65.65
Site B IQ Circuit (HQ)- 10.10.10.0\24 Trusted Lan, Public IP of 210.120.1.10 Private IP of 66.66.66.66
Site C Private Circuit ( Data Center ) 172.28.16.0\24 Connects via IKEv2 VPN Tunnel

Traffic flows from B to A , B to C , A to C , C to A and C to B.

The missing piece is what I believe is a route issue.When Site A attempts to ping traffic ( 10.10.8.0 to 10.10.10.0 ) that traffic expires in transit. Looking at a tracert I see that the last successful hop is the Juniper Device ( The Centurylink Serial ) which has a x.x.x.37. as there is no route into the ASA currently.

I recalled a route on the failed device, however not being ours at that point i foolishly did not make a copy of that running config.Does someone have a good example of what this route would look like for ASA 8.2?Currently I have a default route of 0.0.0.0. (EXTERNAL INTERFACE IP) as well as the VPN Traffic …

I've just taken on a new client who have just moved offices, they have a Kerio Firewall which has its own built in VPN called Kerio VPN, it worked fine in their old office but after moving its stopped working, in the old office their was a basic BT modem plugged ito the Kerio, now there is a Technicolor router, I've tried forwarding the relevant port through the Technicolor to the Kerio but it still wont connect, the VPN clientn im using to connect in is unable to talk to the Kerio firewall, im guessing its some kind of traffic/pass through issue.

Any help appreciated.

I would like to understand the difference of persistent connection and keep alive. Is it only applicable to HTTP protocol? Thanks!
